Pre-game ramblings

So, the college football season "officially" kicks off tomorrow. I hear some teams are going at it in the early evening, but the real action will take place when MSU faces USC. The past few seasons have been challenging for MSU fans, but fear not, MSU is actually in Kirk Herbstreit's preseason poll!!!!! (scroll down...all the way, under meals. and airports. it's a start.) Plus a well-respected football blogger (and USM fan!) has the stats to back up State's undeniable home field advantage. As in playing there is the only chance they have to chalk up a "W". So, tomorrow night I'll be celebrating SEC style, featuring barbecue,
